Are there any solutions / fix? I’m playin on an iPad 6 generation FYI. ### 3/5 — Ganz nett *2019-07-22* leider bringt einem ein run gar nix ein außer ein nutzlosen freigespielten „Erfolg“. Das haben andere besser gemacht, z.B. You must build a boat Wer Spaß hat immer wieder diesselbe Story durchzuspielen („ rogue like“), bitte sehr. ### 3/5 — Der Humor ist nicht so meins... *2018-09-02* und die deutsche Übersetzung erst recht nicht. Das Spiel ist zudem recht schwer. ### 5/5 — A amazing pixel RPG!!!😄⚔️😠 *2017-07-16* This game is very fun but difficult which is what I like a lot about it. The game also has random events that happen which makes the play ability very unique. ### 5/5 — its so funny^^ *2016-04-30* So fun! ### 5/5 — 街に帰るまでが冒険です。 *2016-04-18* 3人で冒険、パーティー全滅したら即new game! けれど、それが良い。 一度、ダンジョンに向かったらクリアするまで帰れません。 けれど、それが良い。 ボス達は本気で殺しにかかる。 けれど、それが良い。 結論。全てが素晴らしい^_^ ### 5/5 — Really good!!! *2016-04-05* Old school and good pacing of difficulty that'll keep you on your toes. Really in depth and whole lot of customization! I loving this game! ### 5/5 — Permadeath. *2015-11-20, version 1.361* Spent 3 hours levelling up characters, went on a quest, completed quest with ease due to awesome characters, bumped into death on the way home, tried to fight death itself, caused instant permadeath on all characters. 10/10 would fight death again. ### 4/5 — Great old school RPG *2015-10-15* I love these type of games. You have to prepare for each dungeon to be successful. One thing I don't like are the mini encounters before you get to a dungeon. They can become repetitive. However, they are a small part of the game. Also, there is no exploration. You are pretty much on a rail after you exit the town. That being said, I definitely recommend this game. ### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *2015-10-09* Наконец-то скидка на эту игру! Любителям рогаликов и серии Knights of Pen & Paper брать обязательно. ### 5/5 — Awesome Stuff *2015-09-13, version 1.33* Addictive, fun, and challenging, one of the best iOS games I've ever played. ### 3/5 — Zum Teil ganz witzig *2015-04-29* Finde das Spiel zum Teil ganz witzig gemacht. Hatte speziel nach einem Game gesucht ohne diese ständigen In-App Käufe und ohne Werbung, was man leider kaum noch findet. Dem ist auch so und das ist gut, trotzdem finde ich 6,99 überzogen. 5 Euro entspricht dem Game mehr. ### 5/5 — Very funny and challenging game! *2015-04-27, version 1.33* I love this game! Tones of randomised weapons and spells. Combat system is excellent with many status effects and lots of quests. ### 4/5 — Cool Game but $7 is way too much *2015-04-24, version 1.33* Please make Game Center Achievements worth more than 1pt per achievement. 5 pts is usually the minimum. Id appreciate it if it was possible to earn up to at least 500pts when adding up all the achievements. As far as the gameplay... It's fun. Aquiring gear and fighting bad guys is the perfect game. The fact It's way over priced though. $2 would be reasonable. ### 3/5 — Fun but unbalanced turn based rules *2015-04-15, version 1.33* Very fun game. Love the humour and the art style but the game's major flaw is in the turn based play. It processes status based attacks every turn. If you are effected by something like burning, bleeding or infested etc. you spend all your time trying to cure these constantly. It breaks character types because mages shouldn't be healing clerics should. It processes turns after each character. So if one person is burning in a 3 on 3 event the person will get hit with at least 5 times with the fire before their next action. Major crippling flaw ### 3/5 — Brutally hard *2015-04-14, version 1.33* Might be a good game but it is so hard that it is almost unplayable. No tutorial so hard to understand and seems really hard to make progress. Shame as seems really interesting and potentially fun. Maybe an easy mode for the casual gamer would solve this. ### 5/5 — Super Spiel *2015-04-11* Ich finde es einfach super ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-04-07, version 1.33* Great game worth the money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hated it *2015-08-09* I didnt like dis game cuz it didnt offer anythin else but fightin pixel style and sht ### 1/5 — Nope *2015-04-05, version 1.33* Sorry guys. I thought, for the high price, this game would be vast and fun. It is neither. The confusing, repetitive, and frustratingly unforgiving gameplay makes for an extremely not-fun experience. I do not recommend this game to anyone and wish I could get a refund. ### 1/5 — Gambling is right *2015-03-21, version 1.33* There's 2 problems: Bugs & Randomness of enemies. Your party doesn't have an immunity to (A)? Well the boss of this dungeon uses it & you're screwed if you aren't immune. So you managed to beat the boss without that immunity? Well your save filed messed up so all you see now is an empty black square instead of your game. Congratulations! ### 1/5 — Poor game, no replay value *2015-03-20, version 1* Game seemed lazily made. Status effects and stats are thrown around with no explanation. I felt no desire to replay after my first run. ### 1/5 — Pixel Heroes: quest impossible *2015-03-08, version 1* This game is crap, too hard. Can't even complete one quest because my characters die too quickly. In no way, shape, or form is this trash worth $7. I WANT A REFUND ### 1/5 — Boring *2015-03-08* Boring repetitive drivel. Think Pokemon with swords but pixels. ### 1/5 — Too hard and too expensive *2015-03-07, version 1* This game would be fun if it wasn't impossible. I have been playing games since Atari days and this game makes you star over from the beginning every time you die, which is most likely in the first dungeon. If not, enjoy your short lived victory, for you will certainly die in the next and have to begin this game from the very start. What a waste of 7 dollars. ### 1/5 — Waste of money/Broken *2015-03-07* Essentially no tutorial what's so ever. First quest, first dungeon, first party wiped out with a full healer and use of all potions in between each room. 2nd party, much stronger, better healer, awesome drops, died in first dungeon. Enemies attacks 2 to 3 times more than your party, you are unable access inventory during fights which means you can't even use a heal potion during a fight. How silly is that? Understand it's rough like, but when multiple parties can't last even the beginning its ridiculous (rough like does not mean impossible). When your party doesn't even stand a chance, it gets boring and old quick. After finally beating the first dungeon on numerous tries, one hero alive, the screen goes black, though game border can be seen, when hitting continue. Game bugged, progress impossible.. Refund requested.... ### 1/5 — 로그라이크라는걸 몰랐네.... ㅡㅜ *2015-03-07* 난이도도 처음부터 하드로밖에 시작할 수 없고.. 안그래도 로그라이크 싫어하고 잘 못하는 제게는 정말 최악의 게임이네요... 물품 케릭터 던전이 다 랜덤이니... 첫번째 보스부터 넘기지를 못하겠습니다... 허허.. 난이도 조절좀 할 수 있게 해주지.. 진입장벽이 너무 높네요, 기대라던가 재미라도 있으면 좀 도전해볼텐데... 그런 것도 전혀 없이 다만 어려울 뿐이라.. 재미없어 그냥 돈 날렸다 생각하며 지웁니다. ### 1/5 — Pixel heroes byte and magic *2015-03-06, version 1* I have been playing video games since Pong. This game is way to hard to begin with. I cannot seem to stay alive long enough to win a quest. Tried and tried. Is the point of this game to lose your money and become frustrated? Boring and a waste of money! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cannot Get Enough *2025-07-07* I’ve played this title across… this will be my fourth platform. I enjoy it immensely and cannot recommend it enough. Great pick up and play nostalgia-inducing RPG. And for this price you can’t afford not to buy this. ### 5/5 — masterpiece *2024-04-01* uma verdadeira obra de arte ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games *2023-09-30* Absolutely love this game! It's very challenging. Best part is the graphics. ### 5/5 — Auch auf dem iPhone 13/14 immernoch eine Empfehlung *2023-01-15* Klasse Spiel welches micz stundenlang in seinen Bann gezogen hat. Selbst wenn das letzte Update ewig her ist, konnte man es problemlos auf ein iPhone 13/ 14 spielen. Lohnt sich absolut ### 5/5 — Great challenging game! *2020-09-23, version 1.361* I don’t know why it’s rated so low. It’s really polished. Lots of different unique hero’s to unlock. It is kinda tuff. Especially the first campaign but definitely worth it Also if the developers could add the option to upload saves to new phones. That would be great! ### 5/5 — Well done! Extra crispy! *2020-07-08* Outstanding game made in respectful homage to (arguably) that greatest generation of games. Love the reference to PoolRad. Starting second quest now. ### 5/5 — One of the best...ever!! *2018-09-20* I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS GAME!! I’m just sad it took so long for me to find this excellent game! It’s been out for years and deserves to live on forever! Good retro style RPGs are hard to find these days but this is the only one you really need. Hire 3 fantasy themed characters and delve into dungeons, collect loot, and beat the bosses! Return to the village to revive heroes, visit the blacksmith, or pick up missions because there is plenty to do here. Of course, upgrades are aplenty and cameos are waiting to make there appearances. THIS DEFINITELY MAKES MY TOP 5 FOR RPGs ON THE APPSTORE!!! I HIGHLY recommend this one! ***Only one request for the developers: please don’t let this game die! ### 5/5 — Add new content *2018-04-26* The subject says it all ### 5/5 — Top Spiel! *2018-04-18* Habe es schon auf dem PC gespielt und bin süchtig nach diesem Spiel! Ein tolles schweres Spiel mit schöner oldschool Pixelgrafik und super Humor! ### 5/5 — Super Teil! *2017-07-29* Gerne mehr davon. Lustige Eastereggs, super Gameplay und hohe Schwierigkeit. Perfekt! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
